ACC player of the year Valerie Cagle was as cool as the other side of the pillow in Thursday’s ACC Tournament Second Round matchup with Georgia Tech, striking out a career-high-tying 14 batters in No. 1-seed Clemson’s 2-0 win. In the program’s first-ever postseason game, the Tigers now move on to play in the ACC Semifinal on Friday at 1 p.m. (ACC Network).
Both of the Clemson runs came off the bat of Cammy Pereira, who came into the contest with one home run on the season, but Pereira launched two solo homers over the right field fence at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.
